Find open files on mount

 sudo lsof +f -- /var/media

Also useful in case you're trying to work out why an unmounted partition is still showing as 'in use' in tools like e2fsck:

 sudo fuser -v -m /dev/sdX1

List hardware details

sudo lshw -businfo

Add swap space

  • Create swap partition using fdisk
  • Create swap filesystem
sudo mkswap <device>
  • Activate swap
sudo swapon <device>
  • Modify /etc/fstab to allow swap to be activated at boot time

Change userid/groupid for an existing user/group

  • Change groupid in /etc/group
  • Run sudo grpconv to update /etc/gshadow
  • Change userid in /etc/passwd (and also the primary groupid for any changed groupids)
  • Run sudo pwconv to update /etc/shadow
